All proceeds for the event will be donated to Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM) in memory of Nick Curran, an Austin-based musician who influenced countless artists and passed away from cancer on October 6, 2012.

In 2012, local Austin rock 'n roller and international blues, rockabilly and badass sensation Nick Curran passed away from complications due to oral cancer. His mark on music history and his continued presence as an influence for so many musicians is why Chili Cold Blood continues to host the CCBCCO in his honor. Nick Curran played drums on Chili Cold Blood's debut album, "Rock 'n Roll Motherf*cker."
